VERSE 1
Best Wishes, Warmest Regards:
It's a shame it had to go this way
the petty fights and the child's play.
you think you can take what you do not own
to fill a spot, not to feel so alone.
empty threats are all that you have left.
to cover up the trails leading to your theft
your only ideas come from your schemes
It shows you're coming apart at the seams
CHORUS
So Best wishes, warmest regards
You never did, so I'm sure you won't try too hard
Best wishes, a fond farewell
we'll be moving on while you have the same story to tell
VERSE 2
No matter how you see it, we will persevere
you'll never silence what we hold dear
we've come too far, you're but a stone in the road
and I promise you won't put this on hold
so good luck to you and your selfishness
I only hope you enjoy this 10 minute.bliss
a name is but a name, the stories are key
and I'm sorry you lack originality
BRIDGE
And when you close your eyes at night
I know you think about mistakes in your life
You wonder if you will be missed
An opportunity won't come again like this

The Selfish

VERSE 1
It's such a big world with all these places that I've left to see
I've created all these boarders that are stopping me
I complain to my friends but I know they don't care
I'm just happy they're still hanging here
With everything else it's so plan to see
So what the hell is wrong with me
CHORUS
Well I don't know, don't care, I know we're not being fair
But it doesn't really matter to me
I don't know, don't care, I know we're not being fair
But I guess we're gonna wait around and see
VERSE 2
Remember times, you sold the news telling them we went days without food
I think your version of this story is a little askew
Well that's the way I remember anyway so what else is there left to say
Maybe I should just lighten up because I seem to be stuck in a selfish rut
BRIDGE
Maybe things aren't always as bad as they seem
I should just let off a little steam
I sit back and enjoy this ride
Then I get to thinking....no, I guess I lied

Anxiety

|
VERSE 1
I envy the person who can act on a whim
Emotions and feelings inheriting him
A split decision not a plan to be found
inside my head, I'm clawing around
Blindly, like I know what I'm doing
Confidence outside but doubt is brewing
I'm looking for the light, a sign or an out
something to show me what this about
CHORUS
Inside my head
Inside my mind
The world outside is passing me by
Inside my head
A weight on my heart
We're answering questions but where do we start?
VERSE 2
It's like I'm trapped under water
And someone's holding my head
But I'm, standing in a crowd of people and
They aren't paying attention instead
I'm feeling that something is About to go wrong
But nothing has happened just like nothing had all along
BRIDGE
Take a breath, take two take three
I want to save the world take a breath take two take three
I want to save the world take a breath take two take three
I want to save the world take a breath take two take three but I can't save me

Waiting Forever
04:15
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
My mind has been racing, almost every single day
A feeling that haunts me and one that begs me to stay
An empty house now here, 4 years going strong
But I just can't settle, makes a minute feel so long
CHORUS
Maybe I'm better alone, maybe it helps me see
Well one thing's for certain, I just know I have to be free
I've waited forever, what's one more day?
I've waited forever, why can't I walk away?
I'm sitting here beside myself, oh what could I do?
But I've learned my lesson and I need something new
VERSE 2
You say you're alone now, a feeling that hits home to me
Overwhelmed by a darkness, you'd need a brilliant light to help you see
It's close and contagious, even shared we're further apart
I'm hoping for something, just a push for a brand new start

Who What Where
03:20
|

|
VERSE 1
There is a constant voice in my head telling me of what I should be instead
Maybe it's wrong, what if it's right
The clock is ticking on this one life
How many minutes does it take for us to realize this isn't our fate
We watched it come crumbling down
And try to rebuild with pieces scattered around
CHORUS
What am I doing I just don't know
Where am I going, I go with the flow
Who should I be it'll change with the day
Who what where.....is this here to stay
VERSE 2
Is this relevant and I making sense
My play on words is too intense
To answer these questions to figure this out
Are we cracking a code we know nothing about
Making guesses I'll take a chance
Are these worth another glance
Stop right here or is it just too soon
Before I decide to change my tune
OUTRO
What am I doing, I just don't know
Where am I going, I'll go with the flow

Hold On
04:06
|

|
VERSE 1
Hold on, this pain ain't gonna last
it's true, the worst is in the past
Start again, there's lots more left to see
It's time to finally be free
CHORUS
It's been a long, long time for you to feel this way
It's been a long, long time but now
there's nothing left, nothing left for you to say
VERSE 2
You don't know if you can make it on your own,
but you know that you can never go home
Regain what you've lost at the start
Take back those pieces of your heart
So close, you're on to brighter days
finally, you're done with cliches

Stuck With Me
03:09
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
I feel like I'm going back in time
to a place I've been but tried to leave behind
I once was on top of this great big world,
Oh the places I'd seen, and that special girl
But time has a way of messing with me
Like it's got a mind of its own and won't let me be
And it's draining me now of every feeling I've had
can I ever go back before this gets too bad
CHORUS
So welcome back to impulse, say hello to depression
it's coming back full circle, say goodbye to that happiness
but I try and I try and I try and I try to leave
I guess I'm stuck with me
VERSE 2
Now I'm trying to find a brand new way
But I'm losing my hope every single day
I fail to let go of what I think that I need
to be happy in this place and plant a brand new seed
It's the love I felt I had that makes me strive for more
but this hell I'm in is always closing a door
Can life give me one last chance to have what I need?
Or is this the fate that's been laid before me?
BRIDGE
Am I lost forever, wrapped inside my head
I'm going over and over everything I've said
Maybe I'm just too set in all my ways
Or maybe I'll rise above and head for better days
But for now I'm blind and it's so hard to see
I reach out and no one's there so I guess I'm stuck with me

Just Another Day
02:57
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
You waited for me to turn away
You took your knife and you sharpened your blade
l felt it tear into my chest
You always have been the best
At making me weak at the knees
No matter how hard I beg and plead
The sounds I make fall on deaf ears
I can't make up for all the years
CHORUS
When you're feeling trapped
And you just can't move
It's all pent up
The anger and (oooh?)
You take a stand
But you know you'll fall
You're the underdog and they're 10 feet
VERSE 2
Now we're here Like we always are
The fear is real I wear my scars
They're on display for all to see
The way I act it just isn't me
After all of the abuse
I still play into you
This loyalty comes from one side
At least I can say that I tried
BRIDGE
I gave up everything I had
Life with you can't be that bad
But still your're just stuck in the past
Your empire cannot last

When I Change
02:50
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Are you waking up or is this just a new dream?
Something more tangible as real as it seems
So close you can touch it but it's not really there
You make up scenarios, pretend others care
CHORUS
When I change my focus, it all became clear
When I change my focus, I could live without fear
If I change my focus, all the madness remains but the background noise is still the same
VERSE 2
It's a moment of happiness followed by one of dispair
It's a feeling of knowing that someone else is there
As the picture becomes more clearer other images step in the way
We're searching for certainty, for something that stays

Lonely Saturday
05:30

INTRO
It's just another lonely... Saturday night
It's just another lonely sight
VERSE 1
Sitting here wasting away, thinking of you
I try to write a simple tune, can't think of anything new
I wonder what would happen, if I close my eyes
Would sleep come to me, or lie awake until the sunrise
CHORUS
It's just another lonely... Saturday night
It's just another lonely sight
It's just another lonely... Saturday night
It's just another lonely sight
VERSE 2
Ohhhh it's cold outside, don't wanna leave my bed
Could today be different? Or should I just bury my head
Yeah I've got nothing....nothing but time
And time is a prison..locked away for my crimes
BRIDGE
There are times I find the strength, to just pull through
These bouts of loneliness, just won't do
If I could piece together, where it all went wrong
I'd be a different man, the one I wanted to be all along
